Hey Paul, what parish records are there for NC? Thanks a lot. Joe from Ohio. *** Here, again, and contrary to what previously has been written, records remain for several parishes. I have in my library a copy of the vestry minutes of St. Paul's of Chowan (1701-1776) and some of the records remain for St. Andrew's in Tyrril and for Southwest Parish of Pasquotank. Then too, some of the Vestry Book of St. John's of Beaufort for the years 1742 and following remain, and the St. Peters registry also is available at BHM Library, though it may not be checked out. The 1754 NC Vestry Act established the 24 parishes for the NC Colony (Chapter IV, 1754 Session laws). That act also appears in Colonial Records of North Carolina, vol. 25. pp. 298-304. My thanks to Steve Case of NC Archives and to Joann Harley, Terria Baynor, and Sharon Gable (and to Google) for portions of the information following: The parishes are/were as follows by name and then are listed the counties served by those.
